Diver's Notes

Our first dive for OW certification. This was a shore dive so I didnt appreciate the small waves during our surface swim. We saw lots of huge brain coral and many soft corals but few fish. There was lots of erosion on the beach so I fell down when trying to step up out of the water onto the shore because of the extra weight of the gear.
